I watched "Into the Woods."

The film, Into the Woods.

I didn't like it. Bad message. Bad.

Prince Charming is a womanizer. Red Ridding Hood is a brat. Jack steals gold from the Giant and kills him - then the rest of the characters go after the Giant's avenging widow and kill her. Jack robbed their house! He should have been killed.

Terry, It is time for you to get addicted to real art....that of Ran Ortner....who is preternatural in talent. I believe God placed an angel next to him so that he would be guided to do the ocean better than the ocean does the ocean. Enjoy...google everything on him. He works big or huge. This is the ocean in the renewed world.

consolata, Terry I think has seen my seascapes which are very realistic and getting more so...but they are normal size and they are realistic in terms of drawing but with the waves at a distance. There are four absurdly hard things Ortner is doing....closeup water as to realism in drawing....extreme realism of color which is just as hard as drawing realism....keeping compositional perfection in huge pieces....and lastly he is three dimensionally gifted beyond gifted in coordinating light/ dark with shape changes. I have a degree in Art History. He is doing a niche that is incredibly difficult and for 30 years til recently, he has been economically living on the edge until the $250,000 prize. But frankly, it's absurd that a Picasso just sold for $178 million and it's difficulty was minuscule next to Ortner who from here on in will make a good living probably...but who knows....at some point, the moneyed customers like le Bernadin might move on after he is no longer new. Stunning....and I wish I knew his monthly oil paint expense.

....perhaps he makes his own....I would love to see your own work. Terry has my e-mail. I admire so much more than the final work: the sheer focus: love; time: et al. The wonderful thing about a work of art is that one can stand before it and Feel its life - an artist puts soul into it and that goes on & on. I think it's all about the seeing, the love of seeing. It translates to the hand.Yup: it Is absurd that the Picasso fetched what it did. I don't feel much soul there.

consolata, email me at. 4cordalia8@gmail.comWith your resultant connection, I'll send you about ten...one at a time serially since most were done by a photographer using the higher MB? requirements. I'm so non techish.

Veritatis Splendor

About Me

... My idea of what I am is falsified by my preoccupation about what I do. And my illusions about myself are bred by contagion from the illusions of other men. We all seek to emulate one anothers imagined greatness....If I do not know who I am, it is because I think I am the sort of person everyone around me wants me to be. I have asked myself whether I wanted to become what everybody else seems to want to become... only to realize that I do not admire what everyone else seems to admire. I have only thus begun to live after all... But it is very late. - Adapted from a quote by Thomas Merton

Holy Face of Jesus

Show us your face and we shall be saved. "Each soul is the object of My special love. That is why I am so grateful to those who are resourceful and bringing back sinners to Me. Keep this in mind then. I gave My life for them in the most atrocious torture, for these poor beloved ones. A humble repentance, and they are already on My heart. So speak gently to them. Speak with tenderness. A brusque remark could drive them farther away." - He and I

Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
